Photo site - how to do it?

I want to put cards in the thank you notes to share photos.  I have a shutterfly account now.
How do you set up a photo sharing account in Shutterfly? 
Will I be able to move the photos from Shutterfly to something like Blurb if I do a photo album in Blurb.

TIA!  I feel so challenged on this aspect sometimes.

    I would recommend creating a new Shutterfly account (separate from your personal account) and put the login and password on the cards for your guests. (VistaPrint's free 250 business cards is great for this!) Guests will be able to log into the Shutterfly site and upload.

    What I did was after people were done uploading, I moved all the pics to a Shutterfly share site (super easy to do) and from there, all the pics are downloadable, so you (or anyone who goes to the site) can download the pics. Then you could move them to Blurb if you want. Although Shutterfly has some very nice albums too!

    We did a shutterfly site too... But we just started with the Share Site.  You can set it up so that it doesn't require a password or anything, so that's easier for the guests.  On ours we put up a few pictures of us and then made a special area for guests to upload their pictures. 
    I put it together one day at work, and I think it seriously took about five minutes.  Granted, I did not use all the bells and whistles that you COULD include.  There's even stuff on there that you could make your shutterfly your wedding site.... unfortunately I found this out AFTER putting together a different site.

    When others upload photos, they do have to register with Shutterfly, but that's no biggie, since a lot of our family is already on there anyway.

    Bonus with Shutterfly is that you can pick your web address, so you can make it something simple that your guests can remember even if they lost the card with the address.

    Hope that helps!
